Of course, three weeks ago, I was swimming in 59 degree water.

That was a wind.  Kind of like what was blowing most of January last Winter, right?  I must have been quite entertaining, picking up leaves on Saturday, then having twice as many blow in the next day.  I'll be up this weekend, to finish up the leaves.  Son flies home for Thanksgiving, so won't be up till December.  Am working on some mods to my shanty. 

See ya. Good luck to Dackmation.  Good to see some additional interest in our Lake.

Once in a while December first.
I remember once, during Deer Hunting Season.
Sometimes not till Christmas.
Once or twice, well into January.

Houghton is a shallow lake and subject to quick temp changes.  No way to guess when we can get out.  It freezes quick, once it gets a cover over the top.  You can gain at least an inch a day.  Hope for cold days with little wind.  Water was so warm this year, the first two weeks in December would surprise me, but if it turns cold for those first two, the last two could be fun.  Dach lives there, so he will be our organizer.  I'll be there most weekends, waiting for safe ice.

Hey Guys I just got back from 6 days at Deer Camp, YeeHaw!!!... LOL

On my way home from Camp, down west of Clare, every pond and small Lake I passed was frozen over. Yippee!!
Also the swamps on the west end of Houghton Plus some small Bays on Houghton itself were frozen, I'll let you know when it happens for sure though.

I'm almost done with Deer season,

Beautiful Buck...nice symetrical rack.  Well done.  Keep those cold temps coming!  I'll be hitting Hougton for the first time this coming year.
